That New Blog Smell

January 11, 2006 – 6:32 am

These rookies are well on their way to being veterans, but they blog like pros!  These are the finalists in the Best New Blog category.  They should all be a blog you keep your eye on!  And if they don’t have Genuine on their blogroll, they must be new…......what?

  2. geez why is it all blogspot bloggers who are nominated. Most of them don’t even use their own template. what a dissapointment here.

    By Torre on Jan 11, 2006

  3. Torre: I would have to say it’s because these writers have original writing, first off. It isn’t all about the looks, substance is key.

    My vote is for Onemanbandwidth!

  10. I have blogged about a beautiful horse named “Genuine”...does that count? ;-)

    As for bemoaning the blogspot people in the comment above, the rules specifically stated that layout and design were to take a backseat to content in this particular contest. I am honored to be acknowledged while I’m still in the “learning phase” of blogging how-to. I hope that when I do get it “all figured out,” and have my own domain and designs, etc., I won’t then discount those who don’t yet have that. I might miss out on some good stuff, right? Many of my favorites are blogspot blogs.

    I really enjoy Belinda’s stories about her family and Poodles. I have Poodles also, so we are a kindred spirit. Her blog also inspired me to start my own:o)

    By Angie of Argan Poodles on Jan 11, 2006

  19. onemanbandwidth.com has a great, original look but more importantly has a wide range of thoughtful and intelligent writing that many people can appreciate. Humor, drama, sadness, humanity and information presented with a unique perspective from an ex-pat living under the sleeping dragon’s nose. Bravo!

    By Daniel on Jan 11, 2006

  20. I waited for days to see this list. I am surely dissapointed.

    As for the comment about content being what is being judged thats wrong because this is what I just found in the rules

    Here are a few things that we will be looking for in a winning blog:

    * Is it navigable? If I have to go to three different screens and links to get to the first post, chances are you won’t make it to first base.

    * Is it easy to read? If you have a black background color and a font of your text in grey, chances are I won’t be able to even read the content.

    * Does the blogger update regularly? If you have been blogging for a year and in that amount of time you hardly have 20 entries on the blog, chances are you are not a blogger but perhaps a monthly columnist.

    * Does the blog follow the theme in which it was nominated? If you have been nominated in a category of Most Humorous Blog, and you have a knitting blog that talks about the the hilarity of picking the proper knitting needle, chances are I would get a deer in the headlights look and keep right on judging never to grace the blog again.

    * Is the site easy to look at? I don’t mean to put that each blog needs to be a beautiful piece of art that takes my breath away, but if it has 7000 flashing smilies and hundreds of buttons and obnoxious colors, chances are it wont catch my attention, and frankly could send me into a seizure.

    * Finally and probably the most important aspect of the judging in the BoB Awards we must consider, is the content well written? If I have to wade through hundreds of meme’s, poor grammar and an army of typos, I will more than likely put the blog into the “try again next year” pile.

    I just went through half of the blogs that were finalists in just this category and I am shocked how some of these were choosen. I guess you just need to use blogger and do nothing but update once a week and get 80 comments on your entry in order to be a finalist. I refuse to vote for anyone. sorry

    Belinda’s stories are enlightening, thoughtful, and always, ALWAYS funny. I find that I can relate to so very much of what she writes about, family issues, health issues, and, MOST ESPECIALLY, Poodles!

    After reading her blog for a couple dyas, it feels like she’s been your friend for ages, and you’re just sitting down having coffee catching up with her.
